The Way Ahead...
Post my foray into the world cinema and understanding of it, what I realized is that our tendency of comparing the level of our cinema with any other part of world is always one-dimensional. We always have got few yardsticks to measure and draw conclusions. For us, a Titanic is better mainly because of the size of the ship or the way it sank. A Fast & Furious is great because the car-chase sequences were pretty neat and breathtaking. We need to blame our distributors for this as well. As we traditionally bring in movies of action or horror genre. Distributors complained of lukewarm response to any other genres. Yet, today I do not find J. Edgar releasing in three of the biggest multiplex chains near to my home in New Bombay. But there are three versions of Underworld (English 3D, Hindi 3D and Hindi) releasing all over. Now, I am not complaining against any specific genre but till when we will continue to treat the audience with genres that has almost got nothing else to offer
